This App allows you to write in Punjabi/Panjabi on your iPhone, iPad fast and very easy. You can type messages(SMS), email, chat, jokes, shayari, lyrics, post comments, Facebook and Twitter!

It is a global award winning technology, developed for most languages of the world.

Punjabi has over 75 characters in popular use. Instead of putting all of them on the screen, the Panini Keypad puts only the 11 characters that you are most likely to type. They are large, easy to spot and point.

At first these are characters that are statistically most likely to start a Punjabi word. If the character you want is not on the screen use the Next button till you get it.

After you have entered a character, the system starts predicting characters you are likely to write next. This goes on in a chain and most often it would predict correctly, if not, use the Next button.

The words will start forming for you magically and characters will occur on your fingertips. You will actually love to write in English also using this keypad, due to this self learning algorithm. Try it !

One can save the messages in drafts for future use.

But the beauty is also that it works for words within and outside the dictionary because this is a predictive technology which is based on linguistics.

Word Prediction feature is implemented in PaniniKeypad. This also appears in iPhone default keyboard. Surely this will enhance your typing speed and make Punjabi typing very easy on iPhone & iPad.

Go ahead, try it. It is mindboggling!

How to type:
For a Yuktakshar (half letter) - a consonant cluster ligatures - use the Halant character (in red) between the consonants to form them. It will be suggested automatically in most cases.

Note also that a matra - ( a dependent vowel ) is always written after the consonant. All the character types - consonants, independent vowels, dependent vowels are shown in different colours so that it is easy for you to understand, search and also learn.

You can send messages, emails in Punjabi which will travel to any phone anywhere in the world in Unicode and display if the font is present. You can also copy paste to FB and twitter.

The Ergonomic Mode is meant for your thumbing and the Nearest key mode most suitable when you are using your finger.

Go ahead and faith will come to you - Descartes.
